This is my son's Kindergarten year at PCA and we all LOVE it so far. He has learned a LOT, both in core subjects and also in specials, especially in Music. His teacher is wonderful, always going above and beyond to help the students out in whatever way she can. My only regret is that my daughter(5th grade) DIDN'T get into PCA this year because there weren't enough spots(28 students on the waiting list!) I wish they'd open a 4th 5th grade class to accomodate some of this students! I sure hope she gets in next year.
This school's most recent test scores have dramatically improved. The 2009 test scores received a superior school rating. This website needs to be updated to reflect those scores.
I have 6 children in a safe learning enviroment. They all fare excellent on these state tests. There has been an influx of poor students that good parents have moved to this school for improvement that may have brought the state test scores to average. Thay would be way below average if it was not for this school's commitment to teach. My children are lucky to be smart and in a place where they can grw and learn. Robert Bailor.
I love this school. 2 of my children attend PCA and I could not be more pleased with the teachers or the school itself.
This is my daughter's Kindergarten year at PCA and we just love everything about it ... from the teachers, to the parents, to the curriculum, to the security measures active in an effort to keep our children safe. Thank you !!
My oldest son started PCA in the 7th grade and since we liked it so much we decided to put our youngest in there as well. He is now in second grade and we have been pleased with all the teachers so far. We like the fact that they wear uniforms, cause I feel the kids don't judge each other by their clothes and seem to all get along. I like the atmosphere of PCA and the parental involvment. I have always felt welcome there anytime. I work near by so I would go have lunch with my son once a week and in the process I really got to know my childs class mates and teachers this way. We also like the transportation team. Most of the drivers work with your schedule. I'm looking forward to my son going to school there until
After a few problematic initial years, PCA has really improved in the area of academics. The new curriculum director and administrative staff have the school moving in the right direction. More athletic teams are forming and student involvement in band, chorus, ballet and other extracurricular activities increase each year. Parent involvement is high through the PTO, various committees and even board participation. A new school is schedule to be built in the next few years and things are looking quite positive for PCA to continue its journey toward excellence.
wow there is really not much to say, but im glad that i switched to PCA. im not a parent, im a student there for my first and last year because i will be going into high school next year.i had such a strugle in math and now, im happy that i have mrs.aspinwall. she is a great teacher and i thank her for all her help so far.im adapting to the way they are taught things.
We have been in Providence Creek Academy for 3 years now. We are so happy. My son has excelled in all his subjects. Being a teacher myself, I can appreciate a great curriculum and organized classroom. We are much happier here than plain public school. It is less crowded and a lot more controlled.Being a smaller school, the pricipal is right there. I see her everyday. I feel at home, whenever I am there. I just feel like they are on top of everything happening. The teachers are certified, what more can you ask for. Thank you PCA! L.W.
PCA is way behind in their cirriculum.
